To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM J. DICK, a citizen of the United States,residing at Bayonne,

- in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in Hat and Coat Racks for Bedsteads; and Ido hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertainsj to make and use the same.

My invention relates to improvements in hat and coat racks of that kindor style particularly designed for attachment to the headpost of ironand brass bedsteads and similar vertical standards.

The invention embodies a vertical standard provided withlaterally-extending means for holding and securing it in position,hangers for the articles, and an adjustable stand or support to receivean article, allas willbe hereinafter fully specified and the noveltythereof distinctly pointed out and definitely claimed. ,p 3

I have fully and clearly illustrated my improvements in the annexeddrawings, forming a part of this specification, and wherein- Figure-'1is a perspective view of a bedstead of a well-known type, wherein myinvention is shown in connection therewith. Fig. 2 is a perspective viewof the complete device. Fig. 3 is a detail view of the stand attachment,partly in section, to show the manner of attaching the stand to thesupporting-arm. Fig. 4 is a detail view, partly in vertical section,showing the manner of connecting the upper supporting-arm to thebed-post.

In the drawings similar parts appearing in the several illustrations aredesignated by' similar reference notations, and, reference being bad tothe drawings, A designates a standard made of any suitable materialandof such length as will suit it for the uses intended. Adjacent to thelower end of the standard is formed an arm 1, projecting lat-. erally atright angles to the standard and formed on its outer end with abifurcation 2, adapted to set about and take in the ver- Serial No.153.107.

tical support, as the bedpost, and thus sustain the standard in verticalposition.

Adjacent to the upper end of the standard A is an arm 3, projectedhorizontally and in vertical alinement to the arm 1 and formed with aneye 4 on its free end, which eye is adapted to'rest on the upper end ofthe bedpost and have the threaded stem of the post-- knob passtherethrough, so that when the arm is arranged in the required positionand the knob is screwed down the arm will be clamped tight between thebase of the knob and the end of the post, substantially as indicated inFig. 4 of the drawings. At the lower end of the standard are formedhooks 5, on which may be hung such articles as may be desired, and atthe upper end portion the standard is bent outward, as shown, and formedor provided with a verticallyextended hat-support 6, below which arepro-' vided suitablegarment-hooks 7, all of which supports are forwell-known purposes.

8 designates an arm formed with a sleeve 9, slidably arranged on thestandard and held in any position thereon by means of a setscrew 10, letthrough the sleeve and bearing with its inner end against the standard.The

,outer portion of the arm'8 is directed vertically, as shown, and at itsupperend is screwthreaded to take in a threaded socket-piece ll, fixedcentrally to the under face of a table or stand piece 12,whereon maybeplaced such articles as may be desired.

To connect the device in position, the knob of the bedpost is removed,then the standard is disposed in relation to the post with the arm 3resting on the upper end of the prising a standard, a lower armprojectinglaterally from the standard and forked at its outer end, anupper arm extending from the In testimony whereof I aflix my signaturestandard in vertical alinement with the lower in presence of twowitnesses. arm and formed With an eye in its free end, coat and hathooks at the upper end portion WILLIAM JOSEPH DICK 1 5 of the standard,an arm slidably mounted on Witnesses:
